NewStart CGSL MAIN 5.04 : ruby Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2019-0013)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 127164

Synopsis
The remote machine is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 5.04, has ruby packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the JSON extension of ruby. An attacker with the ability to pass a specially crafted JSON input to the extension could use this flaw to expose the interpreter's heap memory.
(CVE-2017-14064)
- The lazy_initialize function in lib/resolv.rb did not properly process certain filenames. A remote attacker could possibly exploit this flaw to inject and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2017-17790)
- It was discovered that the Net::FTP module did not properly process filenames in combination with certain operations. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands by setting up a malicious FTP server and tricking a user or Ruby application into downloading files with specially crafted names using the Net::FTP module. (CVE-2017-17405)
- A buffer underflow was found in ruby's sprintf function.
An attacker, with ability to control its format string parameter, could send a specially crafted string that would disclose heap memory or crash the interpreter.
(CVE-2017-0898)
- It was found that the decode method of the OpenSSL::ASN1 module was vulnerable to buffer underrun. An attacker could pass a specially crafted string to the application in order to crash the ruby interpreter, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2017-14033)
- It was found that WEBrick did not sanitize all its log messages. If logs were printed in a terminal, an attacker could interact with the terminal via the use of escape sequences. (CVE-2017-10784)
- It was found that rubygems did not sanitize gem names during installation of a given gem. A specially crafted gem could use this flaw to install files outside of the regular directory. (CVE-2017-0901)
- It was found that rubygems could use an excessive amount of CPU while parsing a sufficiently long gem summary. A specially crafted gem from a gem repository could freeze gem commands attempting to parse its summary.
(CVE-2017-0900)
- A vulnerability was found where rubygems did not sanitize DNS responses when requesting the hostname of the rubygems server for a domain, via a _rubygems._tcp DNS SRV query. An attacker with the ability to manipulate DNS responses could direct the gem command towards a different domain. (CVE-2017-0902)
- A vulnerability was found where rubygems did not properly sanitize gems' specification text. A specially crafted gem could interact with the terminal via the use of escape sequences. (CVE-2017-0899)
- A vulnerability was found where the rubygems module was vulnerable to an unsafe YAML deserialization when inspecting a gem. Applications inspecting gem files without installing them can be tricked to execute arbitrary code in the context of the ruby interpreter.
(CVE-2017-0903)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
